Me: Hi everyone! Thanks for waiting! I've only just realized how long it's been since I last published a chapter of - well - anything really so I've decided to start up again with Iris Dream!

Keiei: Seriously? It's been OVER A YEAR

Me: I'm sure it hasn't been THAT long.

Makkai: It's been getting pretty close

Me:... shoot. Anyway. As always, I don't own Yumerio Patissere and all rights go to the original creators!

Keikei POV

It had been hours since that first class and things haven't been getting any easier for me. Every time I walk past someone, they snicker at me. I think my little screw up as spread across the entire school. Gezzus what kind of place is this?

Anyway, I had finally made my way to the kitchen that I had been told I was allowed to use. Apparently, my show earlier had been disgraceful and I needed to work twice as hard to get decent grade.

Thanks for letting me know boys.

When I opened the door, I groaned. Makkai Kashino was standing at one of the benches working on something. I'm not sure what it was, but it was something to do with caramel no doubt.

"Kashino." I said with a grimace.

"Oh. Gale. Yeah. Hi."

That jerk didn't even look up.

"So what're you working on that's so important?" I asked, moving to lean over his shoulder.

"None of your business."

"Never stopped me before."

He dropped everything he was doing and turned to face me, obviously glaring.

"As I said Gale. None of you business."

"Again. Never stopped me before."

We stood there glaring at each other for a while. Neither of us seemed to want to admit that we were wrong nor make the first move. You tend to get that a lot around me.

Eventually, I decided to make the first move by shoving him out of the way so I could see what he was working on.

"OI! GALE!"

I grinned as I looked down, expecting him to have created some kind of miracle with caramel. Instead, I saw that he was tempering some kind of milk chocolate. It really confused me at first since he was always doing stuff with caramel but I turned to him with my jaw open, expecting some kind of explanation.

Makkai POV

Ah crap. I was busted. Crushed. Discovered. Found out. I wouldn't mind if it had been Derrik or Taikeru, but it was Gale of all people. The girl who seemed to be the least competent when it came to baking anything. From her reputation and what I knew, she wasn't going to leave it unless I gave her a fair explanation, so I did the only thing I could think of.

I told her the truth.

"You know who my parents are right?" I said, sighing.

"Uh. The two who work at the bakery not far from here?"

"Idiot." I said, glaring. "Let me explain. They don't just work there, they CREATED that shop. The 'Yumerio Patissere'. They aced their classes while they attended this school - at least that's what I was told. My parents studied in Paris and are some of the most renowned bakers. I want to be like them."

"So why chocolate?"

Pesky little….

"My dad was an expert with chocolate. I want to beat them. I want to be better than both my mother and my father. I have to be able to beat them at their own game as well as mine."

Kekei POV

I…...wasn't expecting that. All I could do was nod. I honestly couldn't think of anything else to say. I looked over at the chocolate on the bench. It appeared as though he was…. Tempering it. That's one of those really difficult things to do I'm pretty sure.

"Right. So how much longer are you gonna be here anyway?"

"I'm not. I'm leaving."

I blinked a few times, watching Kashino leave. That wasn't the answer I was expecting to be honest.

"Try to keep up 'Sugar Switch'." he said with a smirk.

"WHY YOU LITTLE-"

And he was gone.

I looked over to the chocolate on the bench and looked closely at it.

"Huh. There're bubbles in the chocolate. I'm pretty sure that means he wasn't doing it fast enough."

Turning around, I looked out the window. It was raining now and there were water droplets streaming down the glass. It kind of reflected my mood at the moment because I had realized that…. Well everyone else had a dream and I was only here because of someone's recommendation. So…..what did I want to do with my time here? Why was I here?

Sighing, I took out some tools and began making a basic chocolate mud cake, unknownst to the other presence in the room that was too small to see.

Me: So. I had to come up with an entirely other plot for this story since I'd pretty much forgotten the original and I couldn't find the save files anywhere.

Keikei: Idiot.

Me: Yeah yeah. Well, I hoped you enjoyed this chapter! The next chapter is when the Sweet Spirits of my story finally make a deut! Watch out for it!

Makkai: Yeah. Let's hope Ksadran doesn't forget about us again and start roleplaying instead.

Me: I would love some more reviews to let me know how I'm coming along with the story ^/^
